    Ranking The Switch 1 Pokémon Games By Various Metrics

    You're absolutely based for that. PLA's Battle system sucks, ESPECIALLY the damage calcs.

    A bit of an addendum to this after some thinking and looking back to past fandom behavior. With SwSh Revisionism ongoing, I feel like one of two things will happen regarding how the fanbase views the newer titles: Either The fanbase will revert back to a similar state it was pre-dexit, since...

    As much as I am glad that we are now at the time of Galar Revisionism, I feel that it began a tad bit early. I always thought Legends Z-A and it's hype season would lead to the "3DS Era was peak actually" Revisionism, but I was shocked to see a shift towards SwSh Revisionism even though it...

    Outside of important Trainer Battles, no Pokémon, whether wild or a trainer's, should have Protect, Detect, or any other variation of it in their moveset. It's just annoying as hell and the AI usually spams it or alternates between it or any other move.

    I've said it before that I prefer the 3D models because of the wider variety of animations and I still stand by it. Nostalgia's a hell of a drug.

    (Little) Things that annoy you in Pokémon

    Honestly the complaints about the modern games have gotten really... And I mean REALLY nitpicky in recent times. I mean shit like "I can't enter buildings" or even the PNG Windows from Z-A. I've heard someone compare criticizing that to jumping into a pool of fire and then complaing about being...

    What Pokémon Game(s) do you think are Overrated and what do you think are Underrated?

    Self explainitory title. What Pokémon games do you think get too much praise and what Pokémon games do you think don't get enough praise? I'll start Overrated: I have been replaying this recently with Rare Candy and Exp. Share cheats, and while I might have treated it too harshly, I still...

    Here's actually a hot take (not mine) I found on a Metacritic review of HGSS: HGSS is the only bad mainline game. (I do not agree with this) "Its a BAD pokemon game, not only that, but the only pokemon game that is bad, all others are at least ok. But this one is slow, bland, not inovative and...

    I find it ironic that people are bashing Mega Dimensions for being grindy yet glaze Gens 3 and 4 which are just as if not even more grindy if you want the full experience.

    What do you think is the best Pokémon game so far?

    Yeah that's what I meant.

    What do you think is the best Pokémon game so far?

    Honestly I think USUM does the same thing (even better in some areas). Like the difficult battles but find the pacing bad? Play other upper versions or even BDSP! Like the innovations made by Gen 7 and want games that are also innovative? Both Legends Games, Lets Go!, and SV will work. Like...

    Most Anti-Pokémon rants suck because they always use the same damn nostalgia merchant talking points: -"It hasn't been good since *insert childhood game/gen here*" -"All gimmicks except for Megas suck" -"2D was peak, 3D is lifeless" -"The games are too easy" And the titles and thumbnails are...
